Chapter 556: Despair?! (1/2)

Fortunately, Bai Xiaofei didn’t let them down. The dust cleared, revealing him to be struggling back on his feet.

He had used Invincibility right when the final blow landed which saved him from death, but the first two attacks made him greatly suffer. Moreover, Luo was obviously still in his best condition. Whether Bai Xiaofei could survive the next attack was in question.

Meanwhile, Kuang Ta seemed to be displeased by how this fight was still dragging on. He personally acted with his right-hand man, yet they still hadn’t wiped out these humans. Kuang Ta deemed this an insult.

“How long do you plan to keep watching?” said Kuang Ta suddenly with a cold harrumph.

The thick fog that had helped with their ambushes suddenly rolled, and then, a series of eerie breaths could be heard from within.

“Careful! They’re Shadow Death people!” shouted an Exquisite Rank puppet master.

After several engagements, everyone present had learned the identity of those assassins. However, it was not relief that this knowledge brought, rather the name ‘Shadow Death’ was a kind of pressure.

“Everybody get together! Prepare for melee!!” Bai Xiaofei reacted right away.

The students immediately followed his order. If they scattered, the assassins would be invincible.

However, gathering wasn’t a good thing either. The army of Human-head Eagles was still hovering above. A close group of people was equal to an easy target, and the eagles seized this opportunity. As soon as the students flocked together, they took turns to launch dive attacks.

“Shield of the Black Turtle!”

Ming One and Ming Two decisively stepped up. They, who could resist a Master Rank using the Shield of the Black Turtle at the Proficient Rank, were the best choice for a defensive formation. Having advanced far in power, their Shield of the Black Turtle not only covered a larger area but was also much more reliable, looking darker and glossier than in the past.

One Human-head Eagle hit the shield after another, but it didn’t budge in the slightest. Using physical attacks to break through the defense of this black turtle shield was simply a dream.

Unfortunately, physical attacks weren’t even considered a strong ability of the Human-head Eagles. They encircled the area above the Shield of the Black Turtle and then started flapping their wings at the same frequency.

The calm air was stirred, caused by the frequency resonance. The whole area quickly became a field of dense wind blades that repeatedly struck at the shield at an incalculable rate!

Inside the shield, Ming One and Ming Two spat out a mouthful of blood as the turtle shield shook. Seeing this, everyone panicked.

Having someone to manage the situation, everyone calmed down. They sat down cross-legged and began to form two steady streams of energy that flowed into Ming One and Ming Two, which temporarily stabilized the shield.

However, they all knew that this was only temporary. At this rate, they would definitely run out of energy first. And when that happened, the turtle shield would crumble and they would be ground into minced meat by the seemingly endless wind blades.
